Viewpoints

Lately, in Ms. Connie Rotunda's Movement class, we've been exploring "viewpoints," a way of expressing yourself through bodily movements and gestures. We find different and interesting ways our bodies respond kinesthetically to not only our environment, but also to each other.

Today, I sat in on and participated in one of Connie's classes, as I will be missing my class with her this coming Tuesday. I knew most of the people in that section, but had never worked with any of them before. Despite my lack of knowledge in how these kids worked, our "viewpoint personality" connected instantly and gave some very interesting stuff for Connie to critique and discuss.

Afterwards, a couple of the girls from the class asked, "Does everybody in your section move like you do?" I didn't quite know how to respond, as I hardly pay strict attention to everyone's bodily movements. All I know is how focused I can be with the class and how easily it is to let myself go. One of the girls then proceeded to say, "I learned a couple things from you today simply by the way your were moving." It was a very generous compliment and I thanked her heartily.

Today turned out to be a very exciting day! It's always fun to learn something new up here.
